Show Notes:

In this episode, we dive into Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse, the third book in Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Percy and his friends face their most dangerous challenge yet as they embark on a quest to rescue the goddess Artemis and Annabeth and stop the rise of the Titan's Curse.

We discuss:

  • The Story's Premise: Percy and his friends, Grover, and Thalia, must embark on a dangerous quest to rescue Artemis and stop the forces of the Titans from gaining power.
  • New Characters: Meet some unforgettable new faces, including new Demigods, Nico and Bianca, the mysterious and strong-willed Artemis, and the enigmatic Hunter of Artemis, Zoe Nightshade.
  • Percy’s Growth: We analyze Percy’s development as a leader and the way he balances his loyalty to his friends with the pressure of the prophecy.
  • Themes of Family and Loyalty: We explore how family shapes the choices of the characters.
  • The Mythological Connections: As always, we unpack the rich blend of Greek mythology woven into the plot and how Riordan makes these ancient myths relatable to modern readers.


    • Listener Questions:

      1. Would you rather join Camp Half-Blood or the Hunters of Artemis?

      2. If you were a god or goddess, what age would you present yourself?

      3. Blackjack or Bessie?
